Georgia Support Highlights
Georgia’s current child support table changed on July 1, 2024 under Senate Bill 454.
Parenting-time and low-income rules now run as worksheet adjustments rather than the older deviation framing.
Georgia routes users to its online commission calculator. The older downloadable Excel calculators were retired on September 30, 2018.
Georgia alimony remains discretionary and factor-based, with courts assessing need, ability to pay, and equitable considerations.
A spouse may be barred from receiving alimony if separation was caused by that spouse’s adultery or desertion.
Permanent alimony can be revised in later proceedings, and remarriage or qualifying cohabitation can change the analysis.
